James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. Many people strive to find an engagement ring that’s different from the pack out there. So many people these days are going with very thin bands studded with pave diamonds, so why not go in the opposite direction and go with a wider band channel set with larger side diamonds. James Allen’s 18k White Gold Round Raised Pave Diamond Engagement Ring is a great option if you’re looking for a wider band but still want a real fiery statement piece.
As always with our Daily Diamond selections, today’s stone is completely clean to the naked eye. The small black inclusion that you see in the center of the stone will not be visible to the naked eye – it is too small.

Q&A: Best Eye Clean Round Brilliant Between $5000 and $6000
Posted by: | CommentsQ: Hi, I’m looking for the best diamond I can get for my budget. I’m hoping I can spend $5,000 or less on an engagement ring but I am also willing to step it up to $6,000 if it is an absolute killer deal. What I’m looking for: Shape – Round diamond Ring – Platinum/White Gold Weight – 1 to 1.5 carat Color – H or higher but after reading your color article, I guess I can go lower considering the ring color and shape of diamond. Clarity – No preference as long as the flaws cannot be seen through the naked eye. Like I mention above, I would like to spend $5,000 or less but am willing to step it up to $6,000 if its a killer deal. Let me know if there is any additional information you would like to help me out in choosing a diamond.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. Once in a while someone will ask me something along the lines of, “Ira, what’s the most standard, most basic, most common engagement ring style out there?” The answer to that question is always the same – James Allen’s White Gold 3mm Comfort Fit Diamond Solitaire. The “comfort fit” plain solitaire sounded band is simple, yet classic. It’s the most basic style out there.
As with all of my daily diamond selections, today’s stone is completely clean to the naked eye. The SI2 clarity inclusion in today’s diamond is conveniently tucked away in the corner of the stone, so it can easily be covered by a prong.
Normally, I would have liked to find a diamond with a slightly better cut (perhaps a more shallow depth), but at 2 carats for $10,000, you can’t really be too picky.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. If you love a very blinged out look on rings that sparkle like crazy, then the best ring for you is James Allen’s 18k White Gold .66ct Pave Set Rounded Diamond Engagement Ring. The ring has three rows of ideal cut pave diamonds all the way around the ring’s shank. You simply won’t find an engagement ring with more overall sparkle and fire than this one.
Today’s diamond is a great find. It’s not easy to get an amazing looking two carat diamond for under $11,000. Today’s stone has a great cut for a cushion cut, and it’s also completely eye clean. Luckily, the SI2 inclusion is all the way on the side of the diamond making it pretty much impossible to see with the naked eye.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. The most classic (and most often requested) engagement ring style is the “Tiffany” style solitaire engagement ring. What makes the Tiffany style look unique is the “knife-edge” look around the shank. The shank, instead of being rounded, comes to an edge all the way around. With a diamond this substantial in size, it would be best to have a shank width of at least 2.5 mm such as with James Allen’s 18k White Gold Pave Set 4 Prong Diamond Engagement Ring.
Today’s daily diamond selection will of course be clean to the naked eye (as are all of our daily diamond selections). The only thing to be of concern with today’s selection would be that some people might not like their cushion cut to be quite as rectangular as today’s. Most cushions have Length-to-Width ratios of about 1.10. Today’s stone’s ratio is 1.17, so it’s slightly more elongated.
